This paper investigates the process of vegetation regeneration from soil seed bank. Soil samples were collected from the semi-natural deciduous forest along terrace scarp in Akatsuka Park located in northeastern Tokyo. From the analysis based on Surveying Seedling Emergence, the existence of large amount of buried seeds peculiar to deciduous forest and moist environments was verified. These seeds are those of the native species of this forest and tend to germinate in springtime. The results indicate that taking advantage of these germination characteristics, the soil seed bank could be effective for vegetation regeneration in this forest.
